United for Waukesha Community Fund

Many of us are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened in Waukesha on Sunday. But in true Rotary style, many have also asked how they can help.

The Waukesha Community Foundation and the United Way of Greater Milwaukee and Waukesha County have joined together to create the 'United for Waukesha Community Fund which will support the needs of the families impacted. You can help personally or through your club and/or your club's Foundation, by making a donation to this fund to help those impacted.

A Rotary LOL Moment

Rotary projects around the globe - Finland

Editors Note: This is the third in a series of articles highlighting Rotary projects around the world.

Over the past decade, some of the planet’s most recognizable landmarks have been lit up to mark World Polio Day, with many also sporting a projection of the End Polio Now logo.

In 2014, District 1390 enlisted the operator of the Särkänniemi amusement park to promote the message.

That year, and every year since, the park has illuminated its 551-foot Näsinneula observation tower with red floodlights on World Polio Day.

Pukaite Woods Update
Pukaite Woods Update

Christine joined Ozaukee Washington Land Trust (OWLT)  in Fall of 2014 after M-T Sunrise Rotary negotiated a partnership with the City of Mequon and OWLT; created an opportunity to hire a land stewardship intern to help deliver greater environmental care to the Pukaite Woods in Mequon’s Rotary Park.

After completing her undergraduate degree in Conservation and Environmental Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Christine was hired to a full-time position as Project Coordinator for OWLT.   She has also been trained through the National Wildfire Coordinating Group in Wildland Fire Behavior and Firefighter Safety.

Her main focus is administering a Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI)  to control invasive species and promote the reestablishment of sustainable, native vegetative communities in southeast Wisconsin and northeast Illinois. In addition, Christine now coordinates woodland restoration work and long-term management planning for Pukaite Woods, guiding Sunrise Rotary's stewardship commitment to the woodland.   Recently, in recognition of her environmental leadership and work with landowners as well as community groups, she was honored with an invitation to join the well-established Friends of Cedarburg Bog Stewardship Committee.
